That's What Makes the Jukebox Play

For the stranger drinking anger on the rocks at the end of the bar

For the Carolines sipping their wine hoping this is where the good ones are

For the lovers making out in a corner booth

For the one over there, don't think I didn't notice you

That's what makes the jukebox play

When you live like neon

There's a song you can lean on

That's what makes the jukebox play

When the night won't end

'Cause it plays over and over and over again

For the belt buckle shiner, she's starting all the fires in her Levi jeans

For the one who doesn't come here anymore 'cause he's getting over me

For the one stirring up her emotions in the ice with her fingertips

She showed up with somebody, but that ain't who she's leaving with

That's what makes the jukebox play

When you live like neon

There's a song you can lean on

That's what makes the jukebox play

When the night won't end

'Cause it plays over and over and over again

For my old dive bar with the hand drawn heart

Hanging lonely on the bathroom door

For the old dance hall with the mirror ball

Throwing starlight on the floor

That's what makes the jukebox play

When you live like neon

There's a song you can lean on

That's what makes the jukebox play

When the night won't end

'Cause it plays over and over and over again

It plays over and over and over...
